Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T! If you’ve been following our coverage on the new 4G handset for AT&T you probably know almost everything about the handset already. The only new bit of information we have on launch day is the off-contract price for the HTC Inspire 4G. Since AT&T is only charging $99.99 for the HTC Inspire 4G for anyone signing up for a new two year contract, we were hoping that the off-contract price would be somewhere around $450. To our surprise, AT&T is only charging $399.99 for the HTC Inspire, which makes is one of the best deals around.

We’re still working on putting together a full review for the HTC Inspire 4G, but we’re sure most of you have already made up you mind about the phone. The HTC Inspire 4G is the first 4G handset available on AT&T’s network and since AT&T is only asking for $99 we find it really hard not to recommend the new phone to anyone who’s tied to AT&T.

TMO already charges $100 for all of its current 4G smartphones(on contract)…..Though TMO’s full invoice prices for comparable devices may be $50-$100 higher, TMO allows you to finance off contract w/o interest. I don’t see an AT&T customer paying $400 for this off contract…..The Thunderbolt and Inspire are already outdated compared to what will be available in the coming months.

I know what you mean, but how can something be outdated when it’s currently the best device available on the market? You can always play the waiting game. The Motorola Atrix will look outdated once phones with Qualcomm’s dual-core processors arrive in late spring.

The get your point as well, but Sprint had this phone last summer (EVO). TMO has the MT4G altho the screen isn’t quite as big and Verizon has the TBolt coming soon. The Inspire and Tbolt are running the second gen Snapdragon, i just feel releasing a device with that now is a bit late in the game…..the same can be said about TMO rehashing its old Vibrant with the same core specs in addition to the FFC and 4G radio……In the defense of carriers and manufacturers tho, smartphone tech evolves so quickly, it does seem impossible to keep up….I think devices that are too similar come out too quickly

I had a chance to play around with this phone at the Minneapolis meetup, and it is a very, very nice phone. However, AT&T’s data speeds are slower than molasses going uphill in winter. This is a great phone that’s just going to waste on such a lousy carrier.

I talked to AT&T about this. It appears that if you use this phone on their network, they will automatically upgrade you to the $15 DataPlus 200MB for HSPA+/4G Smartphones plan. For Nexus One users still on the $10 Data Unlimited for Non-Smartphones, that does raise the price a bit. If you decide to go to the $25 DataPro 2GB for HSPA+/4G Smartphones, that raises the price $15 a month. You would quickly pay them back for the $399 low price.

I took a chance on this phone last week because of the $99 price….I’m pleasantly surprised at the performance and have already forgotten about my iPhone 3GS. My concern is will this phone be compliant with the LTE network that is planned for 2012?

Thanks for giving your ideas. A very important factor is that students have a selection between government student loan and also a private student loan where it really is easier to select student loan consolidating debts than through the federal student loan.

One thing is that while you are searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll want a co-signer. There are many scenarios where this is correct because you may find that you do not possess a past credit history so the mortgage lender will require that you’ve someone cosign the financial loan for you. Thanks for your post.

Thank you for this article. I’d personally also like to mention that it can be hard when you find yourself in school and merely starting out to establish a long credit standing. There are many learners who are just simply trying to make it through and have a long or favourable credit history can often be a difficult matter to have.

I have learned a number of important things through your post. I’d also like to convey that there might be situation in which you will apply for a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a National Student Aid Loan. When you are getting credit through a common finance company then you need to be willing to have a co-signer ready to assist you to. The lenders will base their decision over a few components but the greatest will be your credit standing. There are some loan merchants that will likewise look at your job history and make up your mind based on this but in almost all cases it will be based on on your report.

One other issue is that if you are in a problem where you would not have a co-signer then you may actually want to try to exhaust all of your financing options. You can find many awards and other scholarships and grants that will provide you with money to assist with institution expenses. Thank you for the post.
